@ITSolutions Thanks! Got it working and shredding!

@Wayne-Workman I’ve been having trouble getting this to work. I put in the configuration exactly as shown, and it’s just booting straight into Windows when I select that option and hit enter. I tried with default on and off. I also tried an older version of DBAN without any luck. I don’t have any problems if I add the device as a host and schedule a wipe task.

@Wayne-Workman Amazing! Thanks so much for the fast response! It is definitely not going into production, it has a dedicated switch and will be physically isolated from any network connections. Thinking about it, leaving default off is definitely for the best.

@Wayne-Workman Great! I know how to use it as a task, but I’m not sure how to have it start automatically erasing a drive from the FOG bootmenu.

I successfully added DBAN to my Fog bootmenu with the wiki guide. However, after a short loading period DBAN goes straight to an ad for the commercial version without erasing the drive. I have tried several different parameters from the guide without any luck. What other alternatives are there for automatically hard drives?

Ok, finally got a localized install working on Ubuntu 14! I had to do the install off of my work site to get the packages downloaded correctly. To get computers to PXE boot I had a sysadmin friend walk me through making 2 ethernet interfaces in my virtual machine and used the machine hosting the VM to access the web interface.

Unfortunately that threw even more errors, it couldn’t halt the server. When I did manage to halt the server processes and try the install I got a bunch of other apache errors. I took your advice and started over with a Ubuntu 15 install. However, the network panel went missing which is causing problems getting the NIC setup correctly and causing the fog install to fail. I’ve never had so many issues configuring a Ubuntu machine, so I’m going to try this at home on the off chance that something in my work environment is causing issues.

@Wayne-Workman See attached, thanks

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
libapache2-mod-fastcgi : Depends: apache2.2-common (>= 2.2.4) but it is not going to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

I went ahead and upgraded to trunk which broke Apache, libapache2-mod-fastcgi fails to install. I’m not sure where to look for the log to look closer at the “Installing package: libapache2-mod-fastcqi…Failed!” message

I can see the web management console and it says my server IP is 192.168.1.1, but still cannot use that address to login to that console from other computers or the Fog server computer. I cannot ping it from other computers on the same network switch. The PCs cannot boot to PXE, it just times out and boots into Windows.

No errors. However, I did find a solution to updating the schema/database. Instead of typing in the direct IP address I use //localhost/fog/management. Does this mean that my server isn’t broadcasting at 192.168.1.1?

I am trying to setup a fog server on a localized network using this guide, https://wiki.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php/FOG_on_an_Isolated_Network with Ubuntu 12.04 LTS and Fog 1.2.0. After completing the steps I attempt to open the fog management page it goes to a blank screen. I tried restarting several services such as mysql and apache, but they aren’t starting until after I hit enter to complete the install (without updated databases) and am still unable to get to the management screen. The Fog server needs to be completely off of my network, and am planning on using it to mass DBAN old computers.
